Some Day

Where are you now my love
Are you near
Or, are you far?
Do you search the stars above
And imagine me
Is it my face you try to see?
Do you lie awake at night
Softly weeping
instead of sleeping?
Do you wonder if we might
Some day finally meet
Is it my heart that you seek?
Do your arms ache to hold me
As my arms do
To hold only you?
Is it my embrace you need
To hold you tight
And keep you safe into the night?
Does my wrinkled face appear
There next to you
In your faded youth?
My gray head, my eyes, my tears
That then fills your sight,
As you slip into that long night?
Are we two halves of a whole
A plan of love
From Heaven above
For two lost and lonely souls?
If so, then I pray
That I find your sweet love, some day.
Timothy I. Brumley

This makes my heart ache, so filled with lovely emotions about those sad fading years we are all headed to. I've read this five times and it keeps me fascinated. I wrote one "Do you Love Me" that asks similar questions.

Thank you for guiding me to this beautiful poem, Timothy. As y0u know, I can relate to feeling like only "half" of a whole. A very lovely and moving verse, Tim! Soup mail returned. I don't know if yuur blog is still posted, but I'll check. Love, Carolyn
